Von der Leyen Vows To ‘Vaccinate’ EU Population Against Disinformation

May 28th, 2024

Via: The People’s Voice:

As technology evolves, we need to build up societal immunity around information manipulation. Because research has shown that pre-bunking is much more successful than de-bunking. Pre-bunking is basically the opposite of debunking. In short, prevention is preferable to cure. Think of information manipulation as a virus.

Instead of treating an infection once it has taken hold, that is de-bunking, it is better to vaccinate, so that our body is inoculated. Pre-bunking is the same approach. Because disinformation relies on people passing it on to others – it is essential that people know what malign information’s influence is and what the techniques are that are behind it. As that knowledge goes up – our chances of being influenced goes down. And that builds up the societal resilience that we will need.

    Pre-bunking = remembering what you were taught and not thinking about, not even noticing any other information. Sounds like having the reasoning part of your brain wiped out. Wonder if the organoid experiments mentioned previously have anything to do with that.
